sure but what you're saying and i'm saying doesn't seem mutually exclusive unless your point is you think govt and carriers should be driving the iteration on RCS.

No, they should be driving implementation. Not development.

Think of it like Verizon's switch from CDMA to a GSM network or even phasing out of 3G networks. Carriers would have alerted manufacturers of CDMA devices that those devices would no longer be used for their network and to stop production. They would have been given a compliance grace period and then the network would be phased out. FCC or the carrier could set a date that RCS is the new text standard to operate on the network, all devices must be compliant with RCS universal program by January XX, 20XX.

I believe this is more a failure to regulate, than it is an antitrust. Especially after targeting them after they already announced integration plans. It's just an odd freakin lawsuit.
